Family Crazyness and my Thankfulness

I wrote this and then did not post it.  This happened on October 8th - 11th.
This past week has been a crazy and trying time for us.  Allen Jr. had a "permanent dental bridge" put in on September 28th., they were his two front teeth.  Just to give you a little back ground, he lost his baby teeth in the accident when he was 11 months old.  His adult teeth were damaged as well, so Allen has never had two front teeth, unless the dentist or orthodontist has put false teeth in some how.  Now that he was done with braces, etc. we were getting him some thing more permanent.   Well, last Wed. night, the dental bridge came off and he swallowed it while eating a sandwich.  My Husband and I thought he choked on the sandwich, not realizing what happened until it was too late.  We talked with the Dentist and she said to just let it pass through his system normally.  During the night he was acting sick and into the morning on Thursday he could not keep food or liquids down.  We were getting more concerned and after much debate took him to the ER.  There they did an xray and found the dental device to be in his esophagus.  They called a GI doctor to come in and he decided to try there in the ER to remove the bridge.  The doctor was unable to remove it, but did push it into his stomach.  He took care of the immediate danger and wanted to do another xray in the morning and decide from there what needed to be done.  After the night stay in the ER, they took the xray on Friday morning and it was still in his stomach.  The GI doctor decided he wanted to take it out if at all possible, so they put Allen Jr on the schedule to take care of this.  They were doing all of this by endoscopy.  When the doctor went in on Friday morning to remove the dental bridge, it had moved into his intestines too far and could not be removed  We were sent home for the weekend, in hopes that he would pass it naturally.  We were to follow a certain diet and routine over the weekend and follow up with the doctor on Monday of this week, if Allen had not passed it.  Well, we had a lot of people praying for Allen since Thursday and knew the Lord was in control (we don't always know what the purpose is, and that makes it hard sometimes to understand what is going on).  We continued our weekend and was able to have results on Sunday evening and what a relief that was to all of us.  Of course, Allen Jr did not understand everything and it was very confusing for him.  We are very thankful to everyone that prayed for Allen Jr and for the Lord's help through all of this.    We have some major decisions to make for Allen with his teeth situation in the next few weeks.  Hopefully after much prayer, we will make the right decision this time.
